Jedite slowly opened his eyes and immediately looked over at Serena. She was still sleeping.
He sighed and swept a hand through his hair. He stood up and walked to her and gazed down at her, watching her silently. He almost reached down and touched her but pulled away quickly.
What am I thinking?
Jedite's eyes flashed angrily and he paced the room.
What am I going to do with her?
He sighed again and collapsed back in the chair he used as a bed and rubbed at his neck. He didn't recommend sleeping in a chair for a long length of time to anyone.
Serena sighed softly and shifted under the covers.
Jedite stilled and watched to see of she would wake up but she just buried herself into the covers and slept on.
He let out a breath he didn't even know he was holding. She would be the death of him yet. Oh wait, she almost was. But she did save me, unintentionally albeit, but no matter.
He got up and made his way to the tiny kitchen and started on breakfast.
**
Serena woke up to the smell of bacon, eggs, and toast. She stretched and yawned. Hmmm Come to think of it I am hungry, she thought and she slipped out of bed and followed the smell to the kitchen.
She saw Jedite standing at the stove, cooking. She smiled then quickly wiped it off her face. No Jedite bad man.
She stalked up behind him and leaned in closely. "What? No pancakes?" she whispered softly, her breath fluttering over his ear.
Jedite jerked and swung around and glared at her. "This is no restaurant. You eat what you get. You're lucky you get this much." He shoved a plate at her and pointed for her to sit and shut up.
Serena pouted and sat down. "Mean much?"
He smirked. "Hello? Evil villain. I think so." And he winked.
She turned away and started eating like usually. Like she would never eat again.
Jedite sat down across from her with his own plate and stared at her. "Breathe much?" he countered.
There was no answer and that was fine with him. At least she was quiet for the time being.
"So now that I'm here what exactly do you want me to do?"
He sighed. Thought too soon. He daintily blotted at his lips and set down the napkin, folded his hands and regarded her silently.
"Listen and listen very carefully Princess. I want you to find and bring back the other generals. Got that? I don't care how just do it. Talk to that stupid cat of yours, but of course be discrete."
At that Serena's eyes widened. Jedite smiled.
"Yes talk to that cat or talk to Mars. I don't give a damn just do it and quickly. I am running out of patience."
Serena pouted as she watched Jedite finished his own breakfast since she was done hers. He stood and took both their plates and walked to the sink and proceeded to clean them.
She just sat there, staring at him. Jedite finished with the dishes and turned to her.
"You can go now Princess. I'll contact you if I find out anything or I have need for you. Oh and.. I'll still be watching you, closely. Keep that in mind." And he turned back around and ignored her.
"Well.. Thanks anyway. bastard." And she ran out of the apartment."
Jedite smirked and walked to the window and watched at she made her way down the street.
"If I'm not careful I may just start to like her."
*******************
While Serena was eating away her scouts were worrying about her.
"Where the hell can she be? This is the second time she's done this. What has gotten into her?" growled Raye.
"Calm down. I'm sure she's ok." Said Amy.
"Yeah. Our girl is tough." Informed Lita.
"Whatever." Replied Raye.
"Chill everyone. I have a feeling Serena is exactly where she should be. Maybe she's with that hunky Jared. You know what I mean?" and she raised an eyebrow suggestively.
"Mina please." Pleaded Amy.
"Yeah Mina, besides even though he was too hunky I didn't like his attitude. We get enough of it from our enemies we don't need it from regular people." Said Lita.
"The Goddess of Love knows all." Was the only reply.
Just then Serena burst into the temple. The scouts all turned to look at her.
"Where have you-"
"We were so worried-"
"Were you with that hunk-"
"Luna is going to kill you-"
Serena came up short and stared at her friends.
"Woah woah. One I was just out-" she was cut off.
"All night?" asked Amy.
Serena ignored her. "I know you were worried, I'm sorry. No I wasn't with that hunk." At this Serena crossed her fingers behind her back. One more lie isn't going to hurt, she reasoned. "And I know Luna will be mad at me. Boy do I know."
She collapsed on a pillow on the floor and ran a hand through her bangs.
"We covered for you again. Just be happy that today is Saturday." Said Amy.
Serena smiled. "Yeah. Thanks."
She looked around at her scouts again. She really was so glad to have them. She would make sure that she didn't do anything to hurt them.
I'll be watching you.
Serena frowned as she remembered Jedite saying that to her just before she ran out of her apartment.
I think that every time I close my eyes I'll see his face, his eyes. Serena shuddered. I can't think of this now, she thought. She sighed and closed her eyes and fell instantly asleep.
The others watched her with worried eyes. They let her sleep and left the room.
Raye turned to look after her best friend. She turned off the light and closed the door behind her.
